Michelle Trachtenberg is workin' overtime. After playing Dawn on TV's Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the young actress is transitioning to the big screen. She'll soon star in DreamWorks' teen comedy Eurotrip and the indie drama Mysterious Skin. Now, the lovely Miss Trachtenberg will be headlining her first film for Walt Disney Pictures. The Hollywood Reporter scoops that Trachtenberg will star in Disney's Ice Princess, described as "Flashdance meets Bring It On." The story follows a brainy ugly duckling (Trachtenberg &#Array; yeah, right.) whose dream of becoming a champion figure skater comes true with the help of physics, a disgraced coach, three snooty ice princesses, a chorus of stage parents and a hunky Zamboni driver.

The picture will shoot in the spring with Andrew Waller directing. Hadley Davis wrote the most recent draft of the screenplay.

But Trachtenberg isn't leaving the small screen all together. She's in talks to star in a four-episode arc on HBO's Six Feet Under. On the series, she'd play Celeste, a pop singer who is protected by Keith Charles (Michael St. Patrick).

In related news, the poster for Michelle's next flick, Eurotrip, has turned up online.
